Why is an EZ Proxy prefix needed?
Article and book databases are subscription services available through the SUNY Adirondack Library's web site. They are not available to the general public from off-campus.
Databases require users to log in from off-campus with a username/password. This information must go through the EZ Proxy server software. Some databases to include it already (see list to the right). If not, just add it.
How do I add it?
To link to a database article in Brightspace, include the proxy server URL in front of the article's permanent link URL.
SUNY Adirondack Proxy Server URL: https://ezproxy.sunyacc.edu/login?url=
